A ceiling full of stars to lie down under, breathe and let yourself be guided. In this sheet you will find what this tool is for, the activities you can do in a SENSEi room and a few tips for making the most of it.

What is the starry sky

The starry sky is a ceiling, or a ceiling projection, with stars, galaxies and constellations. It turns the room into an open-air night to gaze at while lying down.

Why in a SENSEi room

SENSEi rooms can also project onto the ceiling. The sky connects with the scene on the wall: the moon over the lake, the Milky Way above the desert, the stars lighting up one by one.

The SENSEi room is controlled from a tablet: the adult chooses the scene and adjusts intensity, speed and volume, so that every session adapts to the person and not the other way round.

Activities to try

• Night under the stars: lying on cushions, everyone listens to a bedtime story.
• Join the stars: the adult draws a constellation and the children guess the shape.
• Star breathing: the stars light up and fade out with the rhythm of the breath.
• Journey into space: a science lesson in which planets and galaxies drift above the class.

Who it is useful for

Relaxation moments for all ages, science lessons, care homes for older people.

Tips for use and safety

It works best with the room in semi-darkness and with soft seating or mattresses on the floor.

Frequently asked questions

Does the starry sky work on its own?

Yes, but it works best within a multisensory environment in which projections, sounds, lights and other tools tell the same experience. This is the principle behind SENSEi rooms.

Can it be added to an existing room?

Often yes. Every room comes from a project shared with the people who will use it: we start from the spaces, the people and the goals, then choose the most suitable tools.
